Relationship/age gap worries
Hi guys so I made a rant about this a little while ago but I think it was too long to read so I tried to shorten it, I’ll answer any questions anyone has happily, I would just really appreciate any help I (female) started dating my best friend (male) on the 2nd March. We live in the uk and met through drama class a couple years ago and our families are close. He is the year group below me and we have an age gap of 1 year, 5 months, 2 weeks in total (I’m 17, he is 16 in like a day). I spoke to a lot of people irl, they told me it’s nothing to worry about and to go for it, there’s been like the odd joke now and again but all our family and friends have been very supportive, more so than I would’ve expected for any relationship actually (I think they shipped us for a while lol). I want to trust them but I go on a Tik Tok comment section or something regarding a similar topic and some comments will be saying that it’s not okay, and I’ll try to focus on the more rational seeming people disagreeing with them but I can’t help but worry if they’re right, not just chronically online and I’m doing something wrong. I genuinely love him so much, he’s my favourite person, I have no bad intentions just want to see him happy. We have kissed but I’ve told him I want to take it slow and wouldn’t be comfortable doing anything more than that anytime soon which he understands. Opinions?
